Exploring the archaeological context of sea level change in South Wales

[ChangingTidesProject @_changing_tides]

Found some new footprints while on holiday in Pembrokeshire! Seem to be very close comparisons to Port Eynon!

1/12 Freshwater West Footprints - a thread: after speaking to @DyfedArch HER it does seem the footprints themselves are a new discovery. Interestingly however, a peat exposure was identified on the beach in the late 90s along with a flint working site...

Speaking at the South Wales and the Sea - a Voyage Through Time coastal day school in Swansea today - concluding point the public LOVES intertidal archaeology - let’s make sure they can be involved in a meaningful and visible way!

@Arch_Wales Finds and Environmental Officer Rhiannon Philp will be speaking about submerged prehistoric landscapes at South Wales and the Sea: A Voyage through Time in Swansea on 16/11/19. The event is being run by @GGAT and @TheGowerSociety (see images for details)

Coast featuring the Port Eynon footprints aired again this pm. Interpretation moved on a bit since (4000y older) https://t.co/6yqt0mdfmY

@BeccaPaintmore bulk peat samples from the deposit they were made in - not ideal, but useful to give an idea of the period at least

[ChangingTidesProject @_changing_tides]

Once again huge thanks go to The Cambrian Archaeological Association, @TheGowerSociety and @CUHistArchRel for funding the radiocarbon dates!

Ancient footprints reveal how Mesolithic hunters tracked their prey https://t.co/SONLT8gCnq via @MailOnline

[ChangingTidesProject @_changing_tides]

Exciting day today as we reveal the footprints at Port Eynon are c.7000 years (3000 older than first thought), and are therefore Mesolithic!

[ChangingTidesProject @_changing_tides]

Huge thanks to @TheGowerSociety for awarding our second grant this month meaning more C14 dates can be sought. First samples already sent!

[ChangingTidesProject @_changing_tides]

Pleased to announce partial funding granted by Cambrian Archaeological Association to start C14 dating Gower intertidal peat deposits

How a #prehistoric footprint reveal more than expected. If you missed it, here'sPhD @Rioannon on #BBC Coast [35m+] https://t.co/1m2j3SLxMX

How ancient footprints and pollen can help us understand #climatechange. https://t.co/W4EhZXg366 #archaeology

Pollen grains from our samples are being used to create a 3D printed reference collection. https://t.co/EZpHsVz4wu

[Dr Rhiannon Philp @Rioannon]

3D imaging using confocal microscopy real prehistoric pollen grains! 3D printed for outreach purposes. Pretty cool!

Part of my research will be featured in the new series of BBC Coast. Had great fun filming yesterday at Port Eynon! https://t.co/3t9RhX7Zy1

[Dr Rhiannon Philp @Rioannon]

Had a fab time today filming for BBC Coast with @Tessadunlop on Gower!
